Imagine a world where everyone had the same money in the bank. Imagine a world where men and women were paid the same and they had the same financial opportunities. Imagine all children were given all the financial education they need to make the perfect financial decisions...

Rebecca Robertson is the award-winning founder of Evolution for Women, a website dedicated to giving women professional financial advice. She is a regular media commentator on financial planning, appearing on BBC Radio Kent, in The Independent's ‘Women in Finance’, and is a Huffington Post contributor. Rebecca is passionate about putting women firmly in control of their finances.

Evolution for Women was set up by Rebecca as her many years in financial services continually highlighted the gap between men and women when it came to understanding and managing finances.

Rebecca is also empowering women to take the lead in financial services, which is hugely male dominated, with all-female financial advisers growing and building their own successful businesses under the Evolution for Women brand.

In addition, Rebecca is also developing a suite of tools and online programmes designed for women to self-manage their finances competently and successfully.
